DIGKRAN M. SARICESIAN, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

CURTAIN-SUPPORT.

To aZZ whom it may concern Be it known that I, DIGKRAN M. SAR- KISIAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at 203 lVest One Hundred and Seventeenth street. borough of Manhattan, city of Xew York. in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Curtain-Supports, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to supporting devices for curtains, poi-tieres and various other draperies requiring the use of a traverse bar and rings, and more particularly to those being movable on the pole.

The object of my invention is to provide a curtain support which will permit the removal of the curtain without disturbing the traverse bar, and at the same time be simple, inexpensive and durable.

In the accompanying drawing Figure 1 is an end elevation of one of my improved curtain supports in position on the traverse bar. Fig. 2 is a perspective of the same open.

My support consists of a U-shaped frame composed of two side members 11 being connected by downwardly extending portions 2-2, connected by an eyelet, hinge or rivet 3; near its upper end the side member 1 rigidly supports in any suitable manner, a bow shaped rod or bridgepiece at, having a free end provided with a vertical groove 5, while the upper end of the side member 1 is provided, preferably, with a circular opening 6, or a lateral or side opening or slot of slightly greater diameter or size than the bridgepiece 4t, terminating in a slot 7.

About midway of the center and its outer ends the bridgepiece 4, is provided with anti-friction rollers 8, and between the said rollers and the side members, bushings 9 are introduced to keep the said rollers in their proper position in relation to the traverse bar 10, while on the inside are provided suitable stops 11. The side members l---1 are provided with perforations 12, to receive any suitable fastening means for the curtains 1314; same passing through the curtains and thence the perforations.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed December 1, 1913.

Patented May 5, 1914.

Serial No. 804,060.

In the use of the above described device if it is desired to hang or remove the curtains without the removal of the traverse bar 10, it is merely necessary to grasp the bridgepiece 4 and the U-shaped frame at its lower end when by the exertions of a slight downward pressure the free end of the bridgepiece t will travel along the slot 7 until. upon reaching the circular opening 6, or lateral or side opening or slot, a slight pressure outward on the side member 1 will cause disengagement of the side member and the bridgepiece, after which the said side member is free to be rotated on the eyelet, hinge or rivet, until it is below the under side of the bar when by a slight lifting and side movement the device will be removed from the said bar.

It is to be understood that while I have shown and described only one embodiment of my invention, that other forms and modifications are included in the spirit and scope of the invention as expressed in the claims.

I claim 1. In a curtain support, comprising two side members, a connecting bar bridge piece rigidly fastened near the top of one side member and engaging with the other side members near its top by means of a hole and slot in such side member and a groove in the bridge piece, anti-friction rollers rotatably mounted upon the bridge piece, the side members joined together at their lower end by means of a rivet, eyelet or hinge and perforated to receive connecting supports for a curtain.

2. In a curtain support comprising two side members in U shape, a bar bridge piece connecting the upper ends of the side members near their tops and being rigidly fastened to one side member and engaging with the other by means of a slot in the side members and a groove in the bridge piece, rollers rotatably mounted upon the bridge piece, the side members fastened at the lower end by means of an eyelet, hinge or rivet and perforated to receive supports for a curtain.

3. In a curtain support comprising metal side members in U shape, a bar rigidly fastened near the top of one side member,

bridging the space between the side inemhers and engnglng with the other slde memher by means of a slot and groove, a hlnge the side members provided with perforations I T mriw t eyelet or rivet fastening the lower ends of i BARIXISIAD" to receive fasteners for a curtain.

5 the side members together so they may be rotated on each other, anti-friction rollers rotatably mounted upon the bridge bar and WVitnesses DWIGHT P. DILWORTH, EDITH CoI-IEN.
